One step backwards?

Wonder if the players are feeling the pressure and have inadvertently taken their foot off the gas? Got a feeling come the replay we will be a different side maybe even as soon as Saturday? Not going to say anything other than a draw for the derby but...

Taking your foot off the gas is a dangerous and amateurish thing to do or contemplate. I think the players are feeling the pressure, which then begs the question of the collective mental make-up of the current side. Can they handle it? Motherwell and Dundee United appear to have a stronger mental make-up at this stage and the neutral would probably fancy both to finish above Hibs. Yogi has his work cut out convincing not only the players but himself that Hibs have what it takes to successfully navigate their way towards both 3rd spot and a possible cup final. His recent body language hints at a man questioning his own abilities and tactics. Football is indeed a mental thing and feelings of confidence play a big part. Hibs are capable of any result against both Hearts and Ross County. It depends on which hibs turns up on the day in both matches.

Very true!

Perhaps it would be beneficial to source a seasoned midfielder - out of contract - to get the engine up and running again.
